She made her film debut alongside Alberto Sordi in. Her first major role came in 1959 thanks to the producer Moris Ergas, in Il generale della Rovere, directed by Roberto Rossellini.
She appeared in his, but Rossellini"s career was cut short after the film received harsh criticism at the Venice Festival.
Until discovered by Fellini, Milo had mostly performed in comedies and melodramas. Although she was reluctant to make a comeback, Fellini convinced her to take on the role of the sexy, lightheaded mistress opposite Marcello Mastroianni in 8½.
She retired again from acting in 1968, only to make a second comeback in 1979. Her roles have shifted from that of the temptress to more stern middle-aged women.
In 2006-2007 she toured Italy with the theatrical adaptation of 8 Women.
